domestic life.

Lately I have been spending more time in the kitchen. It started with the banana blueberry bread I made. It was delicious and healthy. Since then Mary and I have made dinner with Dan a few times, and I've been baking more. Chocolate chip cookies last week. Blueberry muffins this week. I don't really know what's going on. I'm sure I'll be back to my usual diet of cereal and Vitamin Water soon enough.

Mary made the mistake of saying the other day that she wished she could win the lottery. This sparked a casual conversation as to what we would do if we had endless money. This has since launched a full obsession for both of us. We talk about it at work. At dinner. In the car. It's what I put myself to sleep with at night. I am a dangerous dreamer. Initially we said we'd maintain a relatively normal lifestyle if we won the lottery. We'd buy the house next door for Mary, build a breezeway inbetween the houses, and have a fleet of hot guys to do any chores for us. It grows each day. Now we've decided we would need a giant mansion of a house near the river. And an automatic cat box so we could have as many cats as we wanted. Of course we wouldn't work. But we would still thrift shop often because we love a good bargain and I really love finding treasures. Other perks would include a (hot) I.T. guy who would be there to back up all our files for us because we hate that. These are the things we would buy. Cats and hard drives. If you are thinking that we will live in this house together for the rest of our lives alone, you are correct. But at least I'll have a gardener who wears hot pants. (Too bad it will be Mary.)
